Boxster owners men vs women

[fishage]

There's a pretty large population of Boxsters in the areas where I work and live. I'd say it is pretty well split down the line when I look at the driver.

And... who cares? No offense to my fellow gents... but I can tell you who I'd rather be looking at in the driver's seat when I pull up next to another car at a light

Seeing how you phrased that sentence, perhaps you should ask your friends. They might know.

Sounds like you need new friends.

You have to be very careful about generalizations. Do more men than women drive Porsches? I think so, judging from the chatgroups. That excludes the Cayenne, of course. Women probably own the majority of SUVs and usually drive automatics. Never mind my wife hates SUVs and drives a stick. So there you go with generalizations.
I know a Boxster owner whose wife and himself both race their Boxster and their two 914s. So there you go with generalizations.

"Do more men than women drive Porsches? I think so, judging from the chatgroups."

Likewise, do more men than women go to chat rooms?

True, but I find it to intimidate women.
I would assume you've been to Campo Alegre.
Well known in the caribbean!

Been Boxstering for 8 years in Silicon Valley, where Boxstirs are a dime a dozen.

Met women owner owners over the years. With one exception all the women owners I met had manual transmissions. Subject to that one exception, all tiptronic owners I have met were guys.

I have a Barbie Boxster. Manual transmission of course.

I have been told several times that my car is a "chick" car and I even had my new sister-in-law tell me real men drive 911's where she comes from and only the women drive Boxsters. Of course my mouth dropped that someone could be so rude especially with her knowing how much I appreciate my car. The reality is I could drive a 996/997 convertible if I wanted to but I think that the Boxster is visually more balanced and is a far greater value. The perception that the Boxster is a chick car is held by a few but they are definately in the minority as I get positive comments about my car on an almost daily basis.
